I have. A new recliner chair. It’s very comfy. but I am worried.
Mochi. Has decided that the best place to sleep is between my feet on the footrest. and when I have my laptop open I tend to. forget that he’s there.
I am going to dump him onto the floor.
Maybe not tonight, maybe not tomorrow night but Eventually He will end up rudely dumped onto the floor, like so much salad.
Pictured: a cat unaware of the fate probably rapidly approaching him, despite me telling him three times now. He is too comfy to care.
Question: You dump your salads on the floor? Why?
Comorbid ADHD and carpal tunnel have lead to a disorder that I like to call “clumsy bitch syndrome” wherin if I get distracted or grab something wrong I will just… Drop whatever I’m holding? For some reason my favorite salad bowl is a regular victim. Also happens to piles of laundry, the TV remote, and sometimes knives.
I have a strict policy of never holding babies.

Mochi is either very forgiving or very bad at cause and effect.
Two different socks, t w o d I f f e r e n t s o c k s, T W O D I F F E R E N T S O C K S
They live in my shoes most of the time, so they’re the same by the most useful metric (Thickness).
In other news,
I tried to give mochi a headscritch while he was on the stairs.
my stairs are basically carpet-covered slabs of wood, with no “backing” so you can see through them. They’re also directly above the stairs that go down to the basement, so there’s a bit of a drop.
mochi
rolled over for bellyrubs
and fell
through the stairs
about six feet
before rolling over mid-air and catching himself on the floor/ledge above the basement stairs, claws digging into the wood like mufasa during that one scene that fucked up everyone’s childhood.
Unlike Mufasa
Mochi is both strong and not predestined to die for narrative purposes
so he hauled his fat ginger ass up over the ledge as I got to the bottom of the stairs.
he stared at me.
I stared at him.
Mochi then bellowed his loudest and most victorious of cat bellows, and threw himself into my chair and rolled over for bellyrubs. Which i gave him.
i am afraid
as Mochi is a ginger like my husband his father
that my son may have inherited my Clumsy Bitch Disease
the nice thing about cats is they’re mostly immune to fall damage
Art forgery is the best crime tbh. It requires absolutely incredible artistic talent, technical skill, and attention to detail to make convincing fakes. Does anyone get hurt from it? No! The only people who suffer for it are the extremely wealthy who want the prestige of having original paintings in their own homes. It’s full of international intrigue and mystery. Perfect.
Also… art forgers like van Meegeren sometimes become a kind of folk hero. A swindler, sure, but a gentleman’s swindler.
I liked this guy’s story, Mark Landis, who conned several dozen museums into displaying his forgeries, but when the FBI came after him they couldn’t do anything because he had always given them away as donations. They said if they could have found that he’d ever taken anything in exchange they would have prosecuted him, but all he wanted was get to out of the house and meet people.
“The first painting Landis “donated” was a copy of a work by Maynard Dixon, an artist well-known for his paintings of cowboys and Indians. It started as impulse, Landis says, but then “everybody was just so nice and treated me with respect and deference and friendship, things I was very unused to — I mean, actually not used to at all. And I got addicted to it.””
And it looks like all his forgeries are done with cheap materials, like markers and Hobby Lobby frames.
Ok, but Wolfgang Beltracchi is probably one of the best Fraud Artists in the world.
His career brought him millions upon millions of dollars and lasted almost 40 years. He finally admitted to painting fraudulent art after the white paint he used came under scrutiny.
In The interview with Beltracchi, he said that none of his forgeries are copies, they’re all original works that the famous artists could have painted.
His wife was also in on the scam, she would dress up in old clothing and take pictures holding the paintings with old cameras to fake proof of the paintings’ ages.
At the end of the interview with Wolfgang Beltracchi he was asked if he felt he had done anything wrong, his answer was “ Yeah, I used the wrong kind of paint”
Just … the levels of con there, the fake photos and … wow. That’s incredible.

Also fun fact we learned in class today: Michelangelo carved a sculpture of a Roman god, broke off the arm, and then buried it. The sculpture was dug up and was considered to be an authentic Roman artefact, until Michelangelo came along with the missing arm and called shenanigans on himself, just to prove he was as skilled a sculptor as the ancient Romans.
hello everyone I stayed up until 4am with jersey one night and made a handy dandy meme you can use if you like. I’ve also included some examples of my own just to get you started
mother mother is a top tier band bc what other music perfectly encapsulates the experience of having a mental breakdown in the middle of a field that’s somehow basked in the glow of neon lights
saw a comment someone made on a post saying “it’s not possible to read dark fiction and not have that affect your morals, you can’t train your brain NOT to normalize those things!” and i completely agree
as a life-long crime fiction and horror fan, i am an immoral monster. i’ve watched all 456 episodes of law and order and committed a murder after each one. i ate my neighbors after watching hannibal. i started a meth lab after breaking bad. i ruined my high school prom because i watched carrie the night before. in middle school i read stephen king’s it, went down to the sewers with some friends and
The difference is, in those examples, the killers or whatever aren’t praised or romanticised by the narrative, it’s clear that they’re meant to be the bad guys, that their actions are condemned and wrong. The comment op mentions sounds like they mean THAT kind of thing, and you really can’t deny that there’s plenty of content out there with rape, murder and pedophilia that ends up romanticised by the narrative.
Of course a story is allowed to have terrible, terrible things happen. While some people are dumbass enough to say they aren’t, that’s rare and not what the vast majority of people are saying.
As long as you’re not letting your stories praise this shit - which yes, can affect how other people view these things - it’s okay. Christ, nobody is trying to ban you from watching crime shows.
Even in the above examples, when there’s a protagonist who does this shit, the show doesn’t try to paint this as heroic, not something that people should do, and that’s the difference.
Please remember this, and stop defending yourself against something that people aren’t attacking in the first place.
Not to mention fiction cant affect your morals when it’s about something widely accepted as bad, It mostly has to be something that assert something already ingrained in you by society
Racist charicatures in media affected how people see PoC because we’re raised on a white supremacist society.
Romanticized abusive relationships in media affects how we react to abusive behaviour because we’re raised in a society where it is normalized.
Trans people in media being the butt of the joke affected how serious people take trans people in real life because we’re raised in a transphobic society.
Murder is not something taught in our schools and homes as something cool, unless the victims are bad guys, so maybe no you won’t start murdering people, but you definitely can find ways to excuse murder after a pattern of who is the bad guy. (This is just an example on how something as outlandish as murder can actually change how people think)
So yeah, darkfics and horror movies won’t change your pshyche forever, but saying midia doesnt have any impact at all on how people view things is pretty silly imo
See, the problem is that lots of people in this godforsaken website don’t criticize media nor the system nor society but just the individuals who consume it. I’ve seen multiple times “If you’re a fan of this, you’re a bad person” or “If you enjoyed this you’re a bad person” or “if you write about this you’re a bad person” as if people couldn’t have a complex relationship with a piece of media. There’s a huge difference between saying “this piece of media has this element that is (And I hate using this word because it’s lost any meaning) problematic” and saying “If you enjoy this piece of media it means you completely agree with every single thing it shows and you’re a horrible person, kill yourself”
And also people here DO demonize a story cause it has X element even if in story it’s seen as a bad thing that you shouldn’t imitate nor normalize. SPECIALLY if it’s fanfiction.
I’ve seen people showing off how many fics in ao3 are tagged with rape to justify why they dislike the archive even tho most fics I’ve seen with that tag treat it in story as an obviously evil thing.
Not to mention, it’s fucking fanfiction. The person who made it not only isn’t paid for it, but it’s also not gonna reach a big audience. It’s literally something someone made in their free time and wanted to share, just because, not for others to consume but for pure self indulgence, so that’s why I honestly don’t care if a fic has X stereotype or transmits X message or is just torture porn, someone just wanted to make it and I’m not entitled to know why or what relationship they have with that story, maybe it’s vent art, maybe they didn’t think it through, maybe it just gets them horny, if someone asks for criticism it’s ok to point those stuff out, and as a writer I try to think what message the things I make have, but at the end fanfiction is for self indulgence and fanfic writers aren’t obligated to analyze every single line of their works until it’s pure unproblematic heaven light.
You say don’t defend yourself against something people aren’t attacking, but, the thing is, there ARE morons attacking people over this, maybe you just haven’t seen those guys who go around every time ao3 asks for donations showing screenshots of how many fics are tagged as X or Y to argue the site is evil and every single person who’s ever used it deserves to die, and I envy you for that, I wish I didn’t see them either. But they. Do. Exist. And they’re SO FUCKING ANNOYING
I think it’s pretty obvious OP isn’t arguing people shouldn’t be critical of media, but just that they’re tired of the idiots who go around saying if you ever liked a fanfic where two family members are shipped it means you’re a deviant monster sicko who should be buried alive and doesn’t qualify as a human being. And honestly, I’m tired of that too.
in most routes, sans will quietly endure whatever suffering is forced upon him. he can live through the callous murder of his brother, the slaughtering of his friends and peers, and yet he’ll do nothing to frisk but berate them. instead of disposing the human the instant they begin harming others, sans watches and waits, appearing near the end of frisk’s journey only to launch his emotional appeals. he attempts to guilt trip frisk, and by extension, the player, rather than get his own hands dirty.
there is only one exception: the genocide route. only when the situation has become the most dire does sans spring into action to do what’s right. what makes the genocide route so different from an especially violent neutral route? why does sans only wait until the genocide route to fight? continue reading for the reasons.
Build-a-Bear Employee: please,,, I can’t fit any more stuffing into this pikachu
Me: You fool….. Make Him Fatter
i worked at build-a-bear in downtown disney and one time a guest came with a grinch and had me force 6 custom sounds into him which was just him breathing really hard and saying “MERRY CHRISTMAS” into each one the thing is, he had me stuff them into the arms, which were stick-thin so the seams were coming up and i was having to repair his now lumpy grinchy arms this took like 45 minutes and all the while the kid was legit trying to remove my kneecaps, his mom was even telling me that she warned someone this would happen and they sent her straight to me ROFLMAO after he was stuffed to the brim and i could hear the soul of the plush screaming at me for what would be the next eternity the kid dressed him up like batman but his mom was like “NO HE HAS TO BE CHRISTMAS” so he put a santa hat on him and also a little plush gingerbread that smelled like actual gingerbread and it ended up looking like this
i clocked out an hour and a half late it was like 1 am
this post made me and my gf go back and watch the oscar-winning movie happy feet. i looked up the director, george miller, and found out happy feet is only his SECOND most profitable franchise. he is best known as the director of all the mad max films.
to present some information for those who have not seen happy feet: the penguins are animated, but the few humans in the film are live-action. the film has two main messages: accept those who are different than you, and a pro-environmentalism message about stopping ocean pollution and overfishing. spoilers for this 13-year-old movie, but it ends with the main character managing to get the humans to stop polluting and overfishing through the power of dance. meanwhile, mad max is a postapocalyptic series.
so… i propose a theory. happy feet and mad max take place in the same universe, but in different timelines. in the good timeline (the happy feet canon), mumble convinces the humans to stop destroying the earth using the power of dance. this leads into happy feet 2. in the bad timeline (the mad max canon), mumble fails to convince the humans. the penguin colony dies out, humans destroy the earth, and the mad max movies happen a few thousand years after happy feet 1.
